Film & Cinema Events in Newcastle upon Tyne — Your Complete Guide
Newcastle upon Tyne's film and cinema scene extends well beyond the multiplex, with an exceptional range of independent cinemas, film clubs, outdoor screenings, repertory programmes, and film festivals that celebrate cinema in all its forms.
Independent and arthouse cinemas in Newcastle upon Tyne programme new releases alongside classic revivals, foreign language films, documentary strands and director retrospectives — the kind of curated cinema culture that streaming services can't replicate.

Newcastle upon Tyne's film festivals celebrate everything from short films and animation to horror, science fiction, LGBTQ+ cinema, and international cinema. Many are free or low-cost, with Q&As, workshops and industry panels adding real depth to the programme.
